Ambassador pete Posted February 22, 2011 Ambassador Report Posted February 22, 2011 Barge or Master is fine if it is permanent and you are not going to sew it. if you are then you can use rubber cement as it can be moved around and still stick. The last cover that I did- I had an idea that worked well so I am going to do it from now on. Because the cover (I used 3/4 oz) is thin and the flaps only cover a few inches on each side (to hold the book flaps) then there is a piece in the middle that has only the one side and that's hard to burnish. I cut a strip about 3/16ths, skived the ends, and tucked them under the flaps on each side leaving leather all the way across the spine.. This way when you look down on the top or bottom of the cover it looks as though it is 2 thicknesses all the way across. I did this so that I could get a nice burnish ALL the way around the cover and not just on the flaps. Let me know if this confusing and I'll take some fotos. pete Quote
